WINNSBORO, S. 0. Saturday,November 17, 1877. It. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associate Editor. Flo ALI, accounts the Fair wan a grand success. Thousands of pco ple wont to Columbia, not only from this State, but from others; while tho exhibits wore first class. COL. RoICARD LAHERs, lato of this State, who ran for the New York State Senato from the ninth district, was reportod"boaten ; but his friends claim that an offlicial count will be necessary to decido the result. HON. JAM. 13. CAPIELL has boon unanimously nominated by the Democrats of Charleston to succeed Gaillard in tho State Sonato. He is a native of Massachusetts, and come south as a school toachor, but has long been one of tho loaders of the Charleston bar. The Orr Legislature elected him United States Senator, but tho Senato re fused to admit him. Mr. Campbell is a man of great ability. THE RETURNs of thO municil)al registration in Charleston foot up a gratifying majority of four hun drod and seventy-throo whito votes, out of a total of nino thousand eight hundred and sixty-ono. With proper care this ensures Democratic government in the city. Tbe Journal of Commerce claims that herotofore over two thousand fraudulent votes have been cast by the Radicals. Tho .News untl Courier intimatos that the Devil is not yet dead, and says: It is reported that in most of the Wards the delegates to the Con vontion are already pickod out, and the Aldormen themselves aro already agreed upon. This goes beyond anything that "Broad street" has ever dono. The "cut and-dried" system was never bofore so fully developed. In one Ward, at least, it is proposed to send to the City Convention, as a delegate, a person who is not only not a Dtmo crat, but who has been for yeatrs chook by jowl with obnoxious Re publicans. Are such things to h) pormitted? WHEN CARDOZO was convicted, the good people of the State wore gratified that a hypocritical rascal had comre to grief. When Smalls bit the dust, they wore glad to be rid of him, but his conviction caused no more than a sense of relief that criminals are once more amenable to the laws. But a thrill of gladness tingles the vein of every oneO on the announcement that tardy justice has at last clutched the hyacinthine forelock of L. Cass Carpenter. This mali cious villain was not content with plundering the State. He used his stolen money to suppord a news paper in which to slander and vilify and insult those he had robbed, Day after day, the Uniion contained a mixture of the most unblushing falsehoods with the most consummate impudence. Even after the daily died, ho struggled along with a semi-weekly in which his venom was concentrated. And now, that tis self-.samie sheet has been the means of bringing him to the penitentiary is a just retribution, andl causes general rejoicing. Car p)enter should be made general scavenger of the penitentiary. It would be congenial occupation for 'one who has dished up filth all his life. The Duty of School Trustees. School trustees hold an import ant position in tihe free school system. To them~ are entrusted tihe management of schools in their district, the employment of teach era, the salaries to be paid, and all other matters of a similar nature. In the general slackness that has characterized school officials of all grades, the trustees have, many of them, also been careless in per.. forming their duties. They had nlo encouragement to do well, for the system was a sham and a fraud. Ant undos h no- --ageet earnest offorts will be mado to reduce order out o. chaos. In this the trustees call bear ait imnportant part. They should thoroughly acquaint themsolves with the duties required of them, so that they may be efficient. It is for this purpose, and to securo uniformity in school managemont, that the trustees have been called to meet in 'Winnsboro, in convention, on the 24th. It is to bo hoped that all. will attend ; the more particularly that Stato Superintendent Thompson will bo present to confer with them. Lot us have a good mooting. The South and the Army. During the debate on the army appropriation bill in the House last week, Hookor, of Mississippi, in troduced a Provision that the army shall not be used in any Stato in the South, without the request of the Legislature or Executive of the Stato. The amondment was op posed by Goode, of Virginia, and Ellis, of Louisiana, who argued that it was a reflection on Haves, upoi whoil they both passed culogies. Hooker roplied that he had no person in view, but that the provision was a good one in itself. Gaifield mado the most effectivQ point, that the provision is already incorporated in the Constitution. Hooker's amendment received but thirty-sovon votes. The remarks ol Messrs. Goode and Ellis, while very gratifying to the President, we considor poor arguments against the passage of a stringont law proventing the uso of the military to interfere in oloctions. On that point Mr. Hooker was right. Let us assume that Blaino should be. come President of the Senate, and that Hayes and Wheeler should die. Would not "President Blaino" flood tho South with troops as fast as carpot-baggers could howl for them? The difliculty about Hook er's amendment was that it pro vided for no more explicit re strictions than at present exist. During the debate Mr. Mills, of Texas, qtuoted the following froru Jefforson : -,In questions of power, then, lot no more b said of con fidenco in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." That is the Proper iden. Let the South protect her self. She may trust in Providence and Mr. Hayes, but must, have a care not to let the breechings break.
